Gulliver's Travels Book 3

The great thinkers of Lilliput are always accompanied by

• their friends

• servers called flappers

• their spouses

• their pet dog

The islands of Laputa floats by

• air currents

• helium balloons

• the use of a huge magnet

• magic

Gulliver gets onto Laputa with the help of

• a balloon

• a chair on pulleys

• an elevator

• a plane

The Laputans wear clothes covered in

• patches

• embroidery

• symbols

• fur

The buildings of Balnibarbi are falling down because

• the workmen are poor at their job

• the plans for them are bad

• the people are unintelligent

• the materials are inept

When people approach the king of Luggnagg, they have to:

• lick the floor

• give him money

• bow down

• praise him

The Struldbruggs lived forever, but Gulliver finds they are:

• very wise

• very strong

• very old but neither strong nor wise

• none of the above

The Laputans, though they are great thinkers, are not efficient because:

• They don't put their knowledge to practical use

• They never start a project

• they are lazy

• they use the people of Balnibarbi for servants

Gulliver concludes that living forever is not so desirable because he:

• would become ill forever

• would get bored

• would run out of money

• sees what the Struldbrugs have become

The people of Balnibarbi are not poor workmen. They follow the Laputans' plans because:

• the Laputans are smart

• they can't draw up their own plans

• if they don't, the Laputans will bomb them with stones

• all of the above
